Risk Factors for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
Several factors may increase the risk of primary ovarian insufficiency. These include:
– Ovarian surgery: Those who undergo surgical procedures that involve the ovaries may be at a higher risk of the condition.
– Family history: As several genetic disorders may lead to primary ovarian insufficiency, a family history of this condition may increase the risk.
– Age: People between 35 and 40 years old are at a higher risk of primary ovarian insufficiency. The disease is rare in women younger than 30 years old, but it is still possible to occur in younger people or even teenagers. [3]
